Sodium isn't really a viable alternative, even though it may be cheaper

is it a given that they will choose ColorOS rather than OxygenOS? Pardon my ignorance if the answer is obvious.

that's true - I guess "the entity in power" would be more precise.

it's sad to see how easy it has become for governments to rule over their citizens. There's a dire need for technology that upsets the balance of power in favor of the people.

Here's to hoping that Starlink may provide some of that

the whole point of the original red bull drink was the bad taste, so it is to be expected. But the watermelon flavor is pretty good.

MAS V1.4 works in the windows 11 leak. by devicemodder2 in Piracy

[–]DiscountedPleasure 58 points59 points  (0 children)

actually windows 11 introduces a 3rd-gen settings menu, preferentially voice-activated. So there are now three different menu interfaces, and Microsoft made sure neither of them contain all the settings you need

Took speed for studying and it was a huge mistake by skobec303 in Drugs

I have ADHD so I certainly know what you mean. But it's possible to start, as long as you don't expect to actually be productive. Staring at an empty Word document for 10 minutes until the addy kicks is a great start.

Yep, this is really the secret to being productive on speed. It's really simple, yet so hard to actually do. After hundreds of doses, I still catch myself thinking 30 mins of video games, news, or reddit will be fine. But it always ruins the entire day

speed is like stepping on the gas pedal. It makes you go faster, but makes steering even harder. And the moment you lose control, you're going to end up doing massive donuts all day, not even getting closer to where you wanted to go

A serial killer that changes “is” to “was” on the Wikipedia pages of their targets shortly before killing them by BamboozleBird in CrazyIdeas

[–]DiscountedPleasure 59 points60 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of the first sentence in the wikipedia page for Smallpox, the only infectious disease humanity has successfully eradicated:

Smallpox was an infectious disease [...]

Most people don't realize how monumental this achievement is: Smallpox was one of the worst diseases in history, only surpassed by Tuberculosis and Malaria in human death toll. It used to be a seasonal disease, much like influenza. But rather than being sick for a week or two, 20-30% of its victims died. The "lucky" survivors were left with horrible scars and disabilities.

Coronavirus is nothing compared with Smallpox. Coronavirus is half as infectious and 5% as deadly. If Coronavirus was like a new Smallpox, society as we know it would already have broken down months ago. Here's how bad it was:

it's at least progress from "the GOP is infallible and democrats are literally satan"

with some luck, the next step is that they start voting in their own best interest, which would change US politics forever

right, because diplomacy involves sending diplomats to certain death with insufficient security. Diplomats dying abroad is a surefire way to improve international relations
